What is the name of your state? I live in Indiana and my son recently got his drivers permit through an expensive drivers education class at his high school. When I told my insurance provider about my sons permit, my auto insurance more than doubled. They told me that if I came in and signed a paper excluding him off my policy the price would go back down. He has never been in an accident and neither have I. I couldn't afford the higher rate so I signed the paper. I asked the mothers of the other boys that took drivers ed and they said their insurance did not go up. One of the mothers works at an auto insurance company and she said my insurance should not have gone up just because my son has his permit. She said that is what a drivers permit is for ..to let your child drive on your insurance. Is she right? Is my insurance company ripping me off? Are they doing something unlawful? What can I do about it, short of changing companies? I am paid up for six months at the lower premium. I cannot afford to pay the higher premium and my son will never get his license if he doens't practice. I would appreciate any suggestions. [email protected]
